2023 DAYTONA 24 - A WINTER WEEKEND IN FLORIDA

We have to wait until March 5th for the Formula One season to begin, but it doesn’t mean that there aren’t races in this period. For example, the last one was the Daytona weekend! 
Similarly to what happens with Indy 500, qualifications for this race were held on the previous weekend. Lou and his teammates Ricky Taylor, Filipe Albuquerque and Brendon Hartley managed to qualify their Wayne Taylor Racing Acura to P3.
After a week of fun in the heat of Florida, going to theme parks and watching NBA matches, it was the time to play serious. And they did so. 
They managed to end the race in P2, with only 4 seconds of distance from the Meyer Shank Racing Acura driven by Tom Blomqvist, Colin Braun, Simon Pagenaud and Hello Castroneves. Congratulations to all the guys as well as to Acura for its 1-2!
But wait, don’t close the page: Lou, while chilling in Miami Beach, announced that he will spend 2023 ELMS season with Racing Team Turkey, his teammates will be Charlie Eastwood and Salih Yoluc. Maybe I will meet him again in Monza, who knows ðŸ˜‰
